authoring-log-alerts

authoring-log-alerts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 75 tokens per session (2,618 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing useful alerts for service logs in a PostHog project. It uses normal log and error patterns to suggest thresholds for when a service needs attention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review services, measure error rates, draft alert thresholds, test them with simulations, and set up log alerts.
Why use it?
Alerts that are too broad create noise, while alerts that are too strict miss important problems. This helps test thresholds against real production patterns before enabling them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

authoring-log-alerts scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/baseline_stats.py, tests/test_baseline_stats.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Authoring log alerts

Authoring an alert is a measurement problem, not a guessing problem. You are not trying to be exhaustive — you are trying to land thresholds that fire 0–3 times per week on real production patterns, on services that matter.

When to use this skill

  • The user asks to "set up alerts" / "suggest alerts" for their project.
  • The user wants to evaluate whether a service is producing alertable signal.
  • The user has just enabled log alerting and wants a starter set.

When not to use this skill

  • Tuning an alert that already exists — that's a different job (use posthog:logs-alerts-events-list to inspect fire/resolve cadence and posthog:logs-alerts-partial-update to adjust).
  • Investigating an active incident — pull rows with posthog:query-logs, don't author an alert mid-incident.

Tools

Tool Job Where it fits
posthog:logs-services Top-25 services in window with log_count, error_count, error_rate, sparkline. Step 1 — triage.
posthog:logs-attributes-list / posthog:logs-attribute-values-list Discover keys/values for narrower filters. Step 2, optional.
posthog:logs-count-ranges Adaptive time-bucketed counts for a filter. Step 3 — baseline.
posthog:logs-alerts-simulate-create Replay a draft config against -7d history with full state machine. Step 4 — validate.
posthog:logs-alerts-create Persist the alert. Step 5 — ship.
posthog:logs-alerts-destinations-create Wire the alert to Slack, webhook, or Microsoft Teams. Step 5: ship.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
